i looked at them, motionless. run jordan. run. but i couldnt. i couldnt move. don't cry. don't cry. but i did. i started crying. i thought i hid them. how did i not hide them?
none of us talked for what felt like hours. just stared. all you could hear were my cries. i was scared. i had no plan. what was i really gonna do?
finally, christina spoke up. "this isn't her fault." she said grabbing my hand. i made eye contact with jack, and the look in his eyes weren't hate. they were, compassion? happiness?
"how did this happen." jonah finally said. "i'm sorry." i cried out. i ran out the house and got in the backseat of my car. i just sat there, crying my eyes out.
i could hear the yelling from inside the house, which made me cry harder. i heard a soft knock on the window, and looked up. it was zach.
i unlocked the car and he sat next to me. he put his arm around me, and put his head on top of mine.
"it's yours." i said looking up. he looked down at me, and saw he was crying too. "i'm gonna leave. don't worry. i don't want your reputation to get ruined." i said crying.
"no." he said softly. "what?" i asked astonished. "this wasn't meant to happen, but i'm not gonna allow you to raise a baby, our baby, by yourself." he said. i couldn't help myself, so i kissed him. astonished, he kissed back.
"please don't leave me zach. i'm scared." i said after i pulled away. "i won't. i promise." he said while wiping my tears away.
the yelling died down in the house, so i decided i'd go inside. "i need to tell them. in my perspective. stay here. jonah can be, well, just stay." i said. "i'm not leaving you. i promised." he said.
i rollled my eyes and got out the car. he jogged towards me and grabbed my hand. i looked at him and he looked at me, and i took a deep breath.
